In the annexed drawings, forming part of this specification- Figure 1 isa side sectional view of the tub, and

Figure 2 is a plan view of the inside top or cover.

Figure represents a horizontal vertical section of the tub with itsinterior and exterior covers.

The nature of my invention consists in providing a butter-t11b with aninside cover, which is fastened by means of pinsor lugs on its outeredge, and slots or grooves von the inside of the tub.

' In the annexed drawings, A represents the tub; B, the inside top orcover, which is provided with two pins or lugs,a a, on its outer edge,which are inserted in the grooves b 6, on the inside of the tub A, andthe top oroover B is then fastened, by turning it, so that the pins a gointo the horizontal extension of the grooves b'.

It will be seen that the lid AB is in addition to the ordinary coveru-pon the tub. The object of this interior lidis to press the brine andsalt close upon the better, and keep the butter from working up and downinthe tub and becoming rancid. A
